It’s Leah’s fun facts!‬ ‪5:00 Jane Austen really doesn’t get enough credit and we’re here to remedy that.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪15: 00 It’s time we talk about the Post Office, people. From “Forever” stamps to Nixon’s Postal legislation to the 2020 election, the USPS is at the center of it all. Why the history and it’s makeup matters.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪30:00 We’re still talking USPS, because some serious shit could go down through the mail. Spoiler: Republicans mail-in voting shenanigans plus Trump tweets could equal a postal-electoral college-shitstorm that could land on President Nancy Pelosi’s desk.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪43:00 Leah’s must-watch: She’s pretty passionate about Unsolved Mysteries, so we all need to watch. UFOs people!‬ ‪50:00 Tales of A White Girl on Oprah TV: Elura spills the tea on her experience with Oprah Winfrey. While the Big O wasn’t the success fairy Elura hoped she’d be, she was a conduit to some important (read, racial) lessons.‬ ‪ ‬ ‪60:00 Oh, Ellen. We didn’t want it to be so, but we’ve been hearing this shit for years. Dammit.‬ ‪61:00 Donald Trump’s Malignant Suburban Dream.
